Typically the session can define a mapping of properties and can call a
"scheduling" piece before every iteration. In some cases, this could be at the
outset of execution of a custom processor. Effectively before their actions are
invoked, the processor should be configured. We can make that stipulation a
priori unless properties are dynamic, in which case we've sort of tabled that
for the interim. MINIFICPP-694 is a good follow on to that.
